These Rena Littleson Paintings are Incredibly Punny

The pun-powered Rena Littleson paintings are not for the easily offended or prudish type, but they pack a hilarious punch. Using illustrations and typography, the Australian artist takes well-known phrases and colloquialisms and applies them to ironic or satirical situations, or changes the words to mean something entirely different. The "Outta Sight" painting becomes a commentary on blindness, with an illustration of Ray Charles. The provocative saying "Blow Me" takes on a lighter meaning with the painting of a young boy blowing bubble gum. My favorite piece shows two girls, one of them looking slightly "drowsy" and eating McDonald's French fries, with the caption "Two Birds One Stoned."
